Start early to make this beaded tree

by Cyndi Lavin

This tree looks a bit like the old German feather trees that you see occasionally in antique shops! Don’t wait until the last minute to make this one, because it’s going to take a bit of effort and time to wire all the parts together. Is is worth it? I think so :-)

Donna Dickt came up with this beautiful heirloom project. Thanks Donna!
